@DelhiPolice If it's a case of over use of power, that cant tarnish him like this. If I transfer the inquiry on the ground that in some other case he has slapped a woman...isn't it tarnishing? Delhi HC asks

Your blood sugar can look completely normal while insulin resistance is silently getting worse.
Why? Your pancreas may be working overtime to hide it.
Here are 6 everyday habits that push your cells toward insulin resistance:
1. Drinking your sugar.

1. DRINKING YOUR SUGAR
Sugary fruit drinks, soda, sweet tea and energy drinks deliver glucose and fructose rapidly, with little satiety.
In Internal Medicine, I ask about drinks first: repeated excess can promote liver fat and hepatic insulin resistance.

2. SITTING FOR HOURS
Patients often ask me, “Dr Priyam, I exercise for an hour, why does sitting matter?”
Skeletal muscle is your biggest glucose sink. Long inactive hours reduce post-meal glucose clearance.
My advice: walk 10–15 minutes after meals.

1/ Russia has doubled the rate of personal income tax to cover the budget deficits caused by the war in Ukraine. However, as a gloomy Russian commentary notes, it's likely to have dire effects on the economy and the country's already declining demographics. ⬇️
2/ 'Political Report' writes:
"In 2025, Russian authorities doubled personal income tax collection at rates exceeding 13%, turning citizens' incomes and savings into one of the fastest-growing sources of budget deficit financing."

We will be reporting from the Royal Courts of Justice today. Day 2 of application hearing for permission for judicial review by the Bayswater Support Group, Keira Bell, James Esses.

1/10 I am incredibly proud to share our latest study, published today in @NatureComms, a follow-up to our 2024 paper on skeletal muscle abnormalities in long COVID. Open access:
#LongCOVID #MECFSnature.com/articles/s4146…
#LongCOVID #MECFSnature.com/articles/s4146…
2/10 People with long COVID and ME/CFS are often told that their reduced exercise capacity and muscle abnormalities simply result from physical inactivity or “deconditioning.”
We directly tested this assumption.

3/10 We compared people with long COVID and ME/CFS with healthy individuals who underwent 60 days of strict bed rest, an extreme and carefully controlled model of prolonged physical inactivity, in close collaboration with @esa and @DLR_en.
Hainan's Xinglong Town is the origin of China's coffee industry - although it's hardly the first place you'd associate with Chinese coffee today (that's surely Yunnan).
Xinglong is a tourist town now, located a few km inland from the Wanning beaches on Hainan's southern coast.🧵
Xinglong is a tourist town now, located a few km inland from the Wanning beaches on Hainan's southern coast.🧵
We visited Xinglong a few months ago on our Hainan tour. It's pretty close to the Shimei Bay surfing area and only about 10 minutes inland off the Hainan ring expressway. The roads between Xinglong and the seaside areas are filled with tourists on rented scooters and side trails leading into forested areas with signs advertising various coffee plantations.
Xinglong is not an organic market town or fishing village that happened to grow coffee. Instead, it was a planned community created via policy. In 1951, the PRC government established the Xinglong Overseas Chinese Farm (兴隆华侨农场) as a resettlement destination for ethnic Chinese from Southeast Asia. Over the following decades, roughly 15,000 ethnic Chinese from 20+ countries (primarily Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam) returned to China and were placed into Xinglong.
This was a period of substantial upheaval across many parts of SEA, which resulted in political violence either explicitly or indirectly targeting ethnic Chinese, most infamously in Indonesia. Those who chose to take up the PRC's offer of repatriation became citizens of Xinglong, bringing their Southeast Asian Chinese diaspora culture back with them.

One part of that was coffee. Unlike Yunnan, where coffee cultivation developed later as an agricultural commodity and economic opportunity, coffee came to Xinglong because the returning diaspora Chinese liked and wanted to drink the coffee they already knew.
What is called the "Xinglong style" today will be very familiar to coffee enjoyers in Southeast Asia. It uses Robusta beans instead of Arabica, roasted with butter and sugar, is brewed in a metal pot, filtered with a cloth, and served with condensed milk. Without add-ins, it is very dark, strong, and bitter. Outside of SEA, this is probably mostly commonly generalized as "Vietnamese coffee", although it's also quite similar to the "kopi" of Malaysia, Singapore, or Indonesia.

McGee’s piece on @SimonHarris investment scheme performs concern & stays safely inside the official narrative: it has “lots of potential to go wrong,” but mainly needs to be made “accessible and easy to navigate” so it can create “generational wealth.” independent.ie/business/money…

That framing accepts the premise wholesale & never really asks whether this is the right tool, why it is being pushed so hard now, or what interests it primarily serves..The deeper drivers receive almost no attention, and that is where the lack of curiosity is most revealing.
There is a clear European agenda — the Savings and Investments Union — to shift household deposits into capital markets.
Industry players want more assets under management.
Ireland has a long-standing preference for keeping large sums in low-yielding accounts. None of that is inherently illegitimate, but it raises obvious questions the article sidesteps in true @Independent_ie fashion.
🔹Is the primary purpose improving ordinary household wealth, or mobilising retail money for broader market and policy objectives?
🔹Why is deepening capital markets treated as so urgent right now?
🔹How does this push sit alongside the post-crisis bail-in framework, under which ordinary creditors and depositors can be required to absorb losses rather than taxpayers?
🔹When households are encouraged to move money out of deposits and into market products, who ultimately carries more of the risk if things go wrong?
🔹When the language of “generational wealth” is used so freely, is it describing a realistic outcome for typical savers, or is it covering the more prosaic goal of moving deposits off bank balance sheets and into investable products?

There is a sharper question the piece also declines to ask.
@SimonHarrisTD is presenting himself as the champion of generational wealth, while belonging to a party that was in power as much of that wealth was wiped out in the banking collapse - including through the fraudulent actions and failures of British-owned banks operating in Ireland - this smacks of selective memory at best & hypocrisy at worst.
@Independent_ie for its part, has shown no interest in the hidden credit lines scandal story of the past two decades. Here’s a report - note Largest Fraud: bankconfidential.com/wp-content/upl…
A curious analysis would at least query some tension between the new rhetoric and the recent @FineGael historical & diabolical record.

1/7 THIS is what is SO infuriating...our government that says it has NO MONEY for helping struggling American families but ALWAYS find a way to come up with money when THEY need it. One way they did it was cutting ONE TRILLION from our medical insurance plans and 350 BILLION
2/7 from our SNAP benefits, which REALLY affects children, ensuring that they are fed. Trump USED this money to fund ICE and other programs, stealing from the POOR to give to the RICH is what he did. Politicians ALWAYS become millionaires even though they receive only $174,000 a
3/7 year...go figure. It is BAD enough our "president" refuses to address the concerns of a hurting nation, but to then have his political party BACK HIM UP is just further insult. In Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, not only did the Republicans who voted on it to pass KNOW
